Why did LAN parties die out?

Why did LAN parties die out?

Men really hang out like this and don't see anything wrong with it.

millennials got too old for them and zoomies only socialize with people over the internet never face to face.

who the fuck need camping gear to sleep inside?

It's a sleepover you dummy. You wanna sleep in the same bed as another man? lol

Why do zoomers dedicate their lives to gossiping about random social media shit like a bunch of teenage girls?

Why do American men allow their bitch wives to photograph them and post it on the internet? American women are the worst; I feel sorry for American guys.

society is collapsing

Because ethernet cables have died altogether and laptops are the norm for portable gayman

The people you know in real life you either lost contact with or they're too busy to play games with you even online let alone in person.

someone let a groid into the house

society has fallen

homes too smol for LAN party

OH. MY. SCIENCE!!!
This is heckin wholesome 100...
Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!

LAN parties died because online became better, through faster speeds and better communicative software

My friends are still doing LAN parties to this day. We're all over 40. I never really played that much vidya so I only pop by to have 12 beers and shoot the shit. Sometimes I try street fighter for a round or something.

no couch co-op functionality
all my games have reliable online servers
housing/rent became more expensive so people are purposely living with parents/flatmates well into their twenties

I love pineapple pizza

football

thursday night

football or handegg?

i still do lan parties with the lads every month

Last time I did lan party with frens was in 2019

It looks like one of those apartment hotels.

because i'm not an insecure cuck like you, nigel, that's why. If you ask nicely, i'll let YOUR wife photograph my balls.

baldi

caprisuns next to cups

????

i dont have friends to do lan parties because i used to do them with my classmates, i really miss this gaming culture.
every vidya group i find IRL always end up in everyone joining the dicksword server to play, even though all the members live in the same city, close to each other. i still have never been able to form a lan party or at least invite someone for a couch co-op.

fuck yeah, I’m proud to be a cuck

t. too much of a coward to beat his wife

thats all women do, they consume nothing but tiktok and try to get into situations where they can post on tiktok

grim

My husband is having fun. Time to publically humiliate him.

Not a single one of them loom happy or enjoying themselves

Why do men castrate themselves anyway?

Sex with your wife and no babies and no condoms

They're happy, they just can't emote properly because of covid masks

Amerimutt are children

they probably all jerked off together late at night while she was asleep desu

That’s because some dipshit is walking around filming them.

are you smiling and laughing every single moment you're at a party?

nah she watched and fingered herself like the cuckqueen she is

this looks depressing. no booze and a plain pepperoni pizza? i saw this pic with a caption that said they were watching lord of the rings

Joy comes after the game. You don't experience joy during the game. The zone is an emotionless zen state where there is only focus.

something about grown dudes only hanging out in a single room for hours is kinda depressing
if they were out in the woods with a way to watch TV then it wouldn't be so bad.

I think the bottom guy might be dead

Uh yeah

Here king you dropped this

He needs booze to have fun

Pathetic.

women don't have hobbies. have you ever seen that video of some whore at the beach where she films a bunch of guys digging a hole, then feels the need to film her fat face shaking her head in disapproval? women hate anything they don't understand or doesn't involve them. there's a reason why letting a woman join your activity will usually fucking ruin it entirely.

To have fun watching football, yes.

He wasn't going to get his wife pregnant anyway, and she felt better making him to this so that she knows for a fact when she does get pregnant that it will by Tyrone's baby.

letting a woman join your activity is 50% her fault 50% your group's fault because one of them will try to get her attention and then everyone tries to and then they all trip over themselves trying to get some punani even if it means alienating everyone else

Dude go away.

drinking is a big part of being adult. it relieves stress and removes inhibitions (after being stuck in some shithole for hours a day where you have to suppress your emotions and pretend you like people). also not confirmed but beer is a slight muscle relaxant. you don't get that from mountain dew.

they have a bunch of capri suns on the table, yet for some reason they still have plastic cups. nothing about this is congruent. this is peak soi behavior.

He needs booze to appreciate football

Pathetic

How many modern games even support an actual LAN? Back then it meant the host could have every game and mod etc. to download immediately for the local game.

spoken like a true alchocuck

does that still happen when the woman is married to one of the guys? is it just innate? I'm usually just annoyed whenever a woman is present because they usually talk like 50% louder than everyone else.

drinking is a big part of being adult.

The mindset of an alcoholic.

probably none of them. there's no need for it when you can all play together from your own home. most games don't even have local multiplayer anymore unless it can be played without splitscreen.

that Live, Laugh, Love room layout

Grim, be glad you aren't married Anon Babble

it's called concentration
something brain dead retards dont do very often

the real question is why dont women castrate themselves if they dont want kids

Zoomers don't even know what a network switch is. How could they have lan parties?

Yeah my only guess would be games that had them originally and are supported out of obligation like counter strike or RTS remakes.

any man who would castrate himself for his whore wife is too much of a soi to ask her to do it, which means she would never do it because women will never sacrifice anything for their own sake if they don't have to. essentially any castrationcuck is married to a woman who is more of a man than he is.

drinking is a big part of being adult.

imagine needing alcohol to function in your daily life

tv too high
also i do lan* party with the boys every friday

*it's actually live service slop and we're using using the wifi and yelling at each other from other rooms as that stupid cat keeps biting our feet

What games have come out with split screen available?

The loneliness hurts sometimes. I feel like an imposter in society. I never really grew up. When all the lights go out and I get into bed, prepping for another day of makework fakejob at the office, and it's completely silent, that emptiness is deafening.

What am I going to do when I'm old? Just get dumped in a home to get abused by Laquisha and Ahmed?

On the other hand, imagine having some bitch around you 24/7 talking. I'd rather die.

Nigga they're gaming. Of all the things you could criticize you chose the most retarded one. Fucking retard.

Fuck yeah

N

imagine needing alcohol to function in your daily life

Not what he said, but he's retarded too.

We used to gather round a tv and play games splitscreen.
I still to this day play duck game with my nephew and nieces and love every moment of that. They have so much fun with that.
but everytime I see them play fortnite they look so unhappy, and half the time they just scream about something. (Unless there playing some random non royal game mode)
What's up with that game sapping the joy out of people?

your pic would have it seem like you'd want to

Not giving a fuck about having children and preventing to have to pay child support in the future when his wife inevitably gets fucked by Tyrone and divorces him.

modern games dont even have LAN as an option anymore

"UHHHH ITS CUZ INTERNET IS GUD NOW (ive never had any friends)"

Honestly if you don't have the space for it, online is better.
But I can smell the kind of retards the people you replied to are, and they ain't got any homies to LAN with.

Nah, the bad apples ruined it by making programs to host lan over internet so you could do co-op via internet with pirated copies.
Lan died, thats why lan parties died.

I have done "lan parties" with 3 friends for a decade or so, all games were played over the internet, because there was no lan option

man with disgusting palate doesnt realize that any italian would kill him for ruining his pizza that way

BUT FAT MUTTS :((((((

A hysterectomy is a much more involved procedure than a little cut snip snip sizz sizz. If you want to nut in your wife whenever you want without any fear of consequences, why not?

the pinapple on pizza bad is mostly a reddit meme. they think it's funny to adamantly hate the most mundane things because they aren't funny. they all literally go "LMAO BIRDS ARENT REAL THEYRE GOVERNMENT DRONES LMAO" like it's the funniest thing ever

Lan parties used to be really fun but were such a pain in the ass to organise and have games that everyone wanted to play. I miss those days.

the only reason a man would do that was because he wanted Tyrone to be able to get her knocked up knowing that he can't.

Eh, kinda? But not really.
Like, TF2 and CS2 are great for LAN and they're free.

getting tubes cut isnt a hysterectomy
also just fuck her ass

i've never been to a lan "party" but in my country we had "computer clubs" where you played lan games. i hated them, there was always some asshole trying to start shit, people would go to play drunk and stoned, especially at night when the rate was cheaper. i only went there because my friends were dorks with nothing else to do outside.

That's a lot if TVs.
Is this the norm in america? Do you have 2 TVs in every single room of the house?

They didn't. I attended one with my friends less than a year ago.

Not a single one of them loom happy or enjoying themselves

loom

ESL

No, they brought the TVs. Also that's a hotel room, not their house.

this makes no sense to me. they seem to be living in an apartment, but clearly none of them are old enough to afford it. what kind of cuck is enabling this? they even have a land line on the table next to the bed.

How else would you know how expensive his shoes are if he doesn't show you every 10 minutes

ur fat lmao

Nigga I go to the gym 6 days a week and eat nothing but chicken and rice. I can’t eat 90% of the junk food I want even if I wanted to be a fat fuck

You need veggies too, anon

kek

Why would I give a fuck about what some people in a far away country think about my taste in food? I like a good Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple and ham go good together.

taking pictures at boys night

This is why we don't invite women

why move and setup all those PCs and monitors when you have fast internet and a good quality voice chat?
I only game with irl friends and if we want to see each other we can just go for a beer or play a tabletop game, a LAN party would be cool but it's a lot of work to set it up so it's hardly worth it

cause LAN did

no woman has ever know how much fun something like this can be because they hate being around each other, so they just find it weird when guys do things they like.

not only did lan die but also multiplayer gaming with friends

The real reason is easily accessible online porn. No teenage boy has time for a sleepover when there's jacking off to do.

he never jerked off in his friend's bathroom

ngmi

I go to the gym 6 days a week

And you can't eat a slice of bread.

I do meet up with my mates but we would rather just leave the video games for online gaming and play DND/other board games when we're in-person.

yo imagine if dis nigga were aladdin or shit he be finna starve 2 deth lmao

Most modern games don't support LAN. The point of these things was sharing some game with the lads and having fun playing it together. Now that this isn't a thing anymore and practically everything is online only there is hardly a point to them.

you the type of person to see a before VS after post from an obese person and post

you looked happier in the before pic

kek fucking retard

it's easier to do it online on account of my entire friends group being wage slaves(emphasis on slaves) and also us no longer being in the same area or even country.

This has to be a fetish thing. No way this guy's wife doesn't own a riding crop and leather corset.

every single one playing as girls

what went wrong?

modern couches are so shit, muh designer slop.

realistically

monitors got too big

internet got faster

everyone got into MMORPGs in the mid-late 00s

at one point when EVERYONE had the Sony Trinitron 21in monitor, shit was so fucking heavy and massive that you basically put it somewhere and never moved it.
i tried taking mine to a LAN one time and fucking thing needed a whole car seat with seatbelt just on its own.
shit was so heavy yet fragile that there was no way I was gunna drive more than 15min to a LAN, and at least near me, most LANs bigger than 5 people were 2-3 hours away.

Have you seen the state of modern women?

don't act like you don't do that too

kek zoomers truly are the most retarded generation that has ever existed

I was literally doing this same shit a decade ago at friends parties, society is fine faggot

They're zoinked out of their gourd on zanax or whatever their drug of choice is called.

I have no idea how to use that big ass printer either. Only wages who worked with one know. I think I used it once 15 years ago or so

this shit is so comfy :O

Feels bad man, I fucking hate ageing
I'm 28 now and I just couldn't do that without getting terrible heart burn, I'd need to sit down at a table
Hate getting constant aches and pains throughout my body as well

wtf nigga I'm the same age and I never have aches anywhere, maybe go for a run and cut back a little on the cheesburgers you fatass

you say that as if you arent a pleb yourself

My old millenial frens and I still do them. CS 1.6, WC3, HoMaM3 all night.

Are they even in the same game?
By the lack of any communication i assume they are all on different servers this is even more cringe as fuck.
I refuse to believe zoomers are actual friends. Just people that know each other by having the same interest but are not even interested to play together. Bet they dont even know each others surename.

I eat tons of carbs every day

somehow this is supposed to be proof that you're lean

Elite athletes train and eat for maximum performance, not for health. Copying their chicken rice broccoli every day routine is retarded. Eat normally mate, you're fucking up your intestines and are probably pre-diabetic too.

looks like a LAN party. I still play L4D2 locally, but for some reason they don't look happy at all in that video.

Those pizzas look pathetic. Where's the MEAT?

They do all the time. Pic related
A hysterectomy is much more invasive. They only do that when cancer is detected, or some other major medical problem

I want you to try as hard as you can to guess what the caption meant by "BYOTV"

celi-ACK

and eat nothing but chicken and rice

Well there's your problem. Eat a bit of cole-slaw and watch your gut issues disappear

There are people that genuinely want to hang out with their friends like this but won't because of societal pressure on how they conduct themselves in the privacy of their own home.
Posting this shit to show off how you're hanging out like you're in high school again is immature, not the act itself.
His wife is either a bitch that doesn't care for his happiness, or a bimbo who doesn't understand that this isn't something to show the world.
Let the guys enjoy themselves in private for fuck's sake.

it's more the procedure exists but they refuse to do it and try to leverage their value within the relationship to pressure the man to do it
even if the man does go through with the minimally invasive procedure that doesnt prevent her from getting pregnant from somehow else and we all know that can happen even not withstanding the possibility of infidelity

no crust

kys nigger

knife and fork

loser

99% of the time meat is shit on pizza. Pizza is best with cheese and variety of mushrooms. Just have real meat on the side instead of that dry ass salami and disgusting ham. Just look at that greasy slop you posted. Disgusting.

knife and fork

you're eating some kind of bullshit crust you made yourself out of cauliflower and eggs. you can't pick that shit up by hand I bet

That's carry out and it has crust. You eat fast food domino's or something?

My gf made homemade hippy crap, it looked like that.

I didn't really do LAN parties, but we used to have IRL week-long meetings every year in my MMO guild. Drinking, grill and having fun. Talking about the game was kept to minimum. Good times.

The only thing wrong I see is them playing on consoles and gamepads, otherwise its a normal LAN party.

I plan to do it once I've all the kids I want. My wife not having to take the pill is a huge plus.

No idea what kind of man would do it before having children, disgusting.

i have no friends

t. no friends to game with
You'd be clowning on their ass if they did the basedboy jumps so shut the fuck up

cauliflower and eggs sounds alot tastier than baked pizza dough

online killed LANs once all my friend group got decent broadband there was no point

I have a very strong feeling your lack of food diversity is what fucked up your body like that

I've had it, it doesn't really taste like anything when you have tomato sauce and cheese on top of it since that's all you're tasting. the main difference is that it isn't crispy.

If I don't film it then it didn't happen

youtu.be/1Sfs9h3bIDg?si=6ipWUF_R9KJ-N1S6&t=82

these videos are almost always probably filmed by women. wife, girlfriend, mother. they think the event is stupid because they don't understand it.

Mind explaining to me what's wrong with it?

Lack of games really worth playing next to each other you can play in a night.
Used to do all night lans, like come by on a friday after work, get dinner together, and play games until you crash out, usually like 4-6am and then fuck off at like middday-1pm on the saturday.

Did it all the time from like 15 years old up until my mid 20's, covid really killed it and while we would still kind of do it online after covid we never really got it back together and there haven't really been any games to push for doing it.
We often would just smash out some smaller indie title that was dope in like 10hrs, and fuck around playing some fighting games, party games, and some lobbies of random stuff in between.
Can't really do it in person now as we have all moved further away from each other and its close enough to occasionally see each other but its harder to organize a lan unless there is something really worth playing, just mostly play stuff online together.

Most games now just release unfinished so when everyone is interested around its launch its not worth it, and later on its harder to be as interested or get others interested to do it, not to mention most games playing online is identical so we can just do that and its way more chill, way less effort, and way easier to organize, not to mention much more flexible time wise which matters when there is more distance between us.

Heart burn

Would you be smiling when you're suddenly being recorded?

Are they clones? If they didn't have different haircuts you couldn't tell them apart.

hanging out like that is cool, but football is literally the 2nd gayest shit of all time, right behind basketball. and gay sex is 3rd. you could not pay me money to watch a bunch of blacks run around with a ball.

Its fun, you dull boring poser.

32

fat but still workout a couple times a week

have none of these supposed aging health issues

Legit don’t understand people saying the body goes to shit at 30, I feel mostly the same as I was at 23 just uglier

could I pay you to watch gay men having sex? what's your paypal

Fair enough
